Viel Zeit hat der fünfzehnjährige Jonny nicht mehr, denn er leidet unter einem Herzfehler und hofft, dass eine Transplantation ihn retten wird. Nia verliert ihren Zwillingsbruder Leo durch einen tragischen Unfall und muss danach nicht nur mit der Trauer fertig werden, sondern hat auch noch Schuldgefühle, denn sie hat immer in Konkurrenz zu ihrem Bruder gestanden. Jonny und Nia lernen sich kennen, als es Jonny schon wieder besser geht. Er wollte etwas über seinen Organspender erfahren und verliebt sich in Nia.
Es ist ein wundervolles Buch, das mich wirklich berührt hat.
Die Charaktere sind sehr authentisch und sympathisch beschrieben, so dass ich mich in jeden hineinversetzen konnte. Jonny braucht ein neues Herz, aber da seine Blutgruppe so selten ist, hat er schon fast die Hoffnung aufgegeben. Doch dann klappt es doch noch. Sein Gefühlsleben ist sehr gut beschrieben und doch kann wohl niemand, der nicht in seiner Lage ist, nachempfinden, wie es Jonny geht.
Nia und Leo sind Geschwister und verhalten sich so, wie es Geschwister nun einmal tun. Dazu gehört auch Eifersucht und Streit. Nia muss miterleben, wie Leo verunglückt. Sie erlebt zusammen mit ihren Eltern eine Zeit des Hoffens und Bangens, aber es gibt keine Chance für Leo. Jeder aus der Familie versucht mit seiner Trauer fertig zu werden. Nia macht es niemandem leicht mit ihr kratzbürstigen Art, auch ihrer Freundin Helen nicht, die immer für sie da ist.
Ich habe aber auch mit Em gelitten, die zusammen mit Jonny im Krankenhaus ist und an Leukämie leidet. Die beiden haben sich angefreundet und versuchen zu überleben, was sie nur mit einer Portion Zynismus schaffen.
Ein Thema in diesem Buch ist die Organspende; es ist ein wichtiges Thema. Darüber hinaus geht es auch um Trauer und Verlust, um Freundschaft und Liebe.
Die sehr emotionale Geschichte hat mich oft zu Tränen gerührt. Ich kann dieses Buch nur empfehlen. ( )

Jonny has had an unusual childhood, missing most of the experiences that children usually have. His life so far has been spent hooked up to machines keeping his blood pumping through his body. His only hope is a heart donor, but he needs a perfect match. This is unlikely, and he believes that death may be fast approaching. One day a miracle happens, and a young person dies, giving him his heart!

After he gets his new heart, Jonny struggles. He just has to know who the donor was. In searching for the donor, Jonny finds his “true heart”, learning to deal with the physical heart as well as how to deal with the new experience of falling in love.

This is a charming young adult tale about a girl grieving the death of someone close to her. It is also about a boy given a second chance. The characters are realistic, well-written, and heart-warming, helping the reader to experience their pain and joy, too. I really liked this simple, yet profound book.

I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review. ( )

Excellent story told from alternating perspectives. The first is that of Niamh (pronounced Neeve) who is mucking around on a beach with her twin brother Leo when he falls and hits his head resulting in brain death. Leo has always said that he would be an organ donor and so his heart is donated to Jonny who is waiting hooked up to a machine keeping him alive. The book then alternates between the two main characters - Niamh with her guilt over Leo's death and her family's depression. Jonny who tracks down who is organ donor was ( reads death notices and puts two and two together) and then lies to Niamh about why he is talking to her online. The two meet and sort of start a romance with Niamh completely unaware that her brother's heart beats inside her new friend's body. As well as this there is Jonny's wish to become a completely new person with his new heart by ditching his contacts with his old hospital friends and then eventually deciding that he wants to be more like Leo was and stopping taking his meds.
Gut wrenching story that is very believable and reminded me a lot of Fault in Our Stars with two characters who aren't quite honest with themselves and each other. ( )

This was a sweet read about Johnny, a young heart transplant recipient and the sister of the boy who's heart he was given. I liked both Niamh and Johnny but I wasn't convinced by their romance, and I loved Emily, the girl who was in hospital with Johnny. Dealing with friendship, illness, grief, love and organ donation "Instructions for a Second-hand Heart" was a solid YA read. ( )
